Jeff Lovell lands two-book contract

We are proud to announce the signing of a two-book contract with Total Recall Press.  The manuscripts for  ACID and THE COVEN OF THE SPRING by Jeff Lovell are now off the market but publishers are invited to consider some of the other fine works shown on the Active Projects page and represented by the Rebecca Pratt Literary Group.

1. Writing a book is the easy part; selling it to a publisher and then to a market is very much harder.
2. We choose to represent authors who have the skills to write, the discipline to do the work, and the willingness to work with us to make the product marketable. Your query may be your only chance to prove that you are client material so read all of our information before submitting a query.
3. While we are not traditional in that we make every effort to remain open to new writers and that we accept submissions by e-mail, we are traditional in what we expect to see in a query. You will impress us more with a good query letter than with a well-written novel. A lot of people can write well while very few are tenacious enough to do what it takes to become a published author.
4. Simultaneous queries to multiple agencies or publishers are frowned upon, but we understand why authors do it. We will read your query but if we ask for additional material we will accept it only if we are the exclusive readers at that level. In return we will promise a rapid turn around (understanding that at least two readers in our agency will be reviewing your work and that it takes each an average of 12 hours to read a manuscript--and that we receive more than one query per day which we also must read and evaluate). All of this is in addition to the actual work of servicing our signed clients.
5. We want to do a good job since our success as an agency is entirely dependent upon our ability to recognize and sign quality authors. We can not do it without your help and full cooperation.
